NP235 Exam 2 Review 2022 Graded A
What is Adrenal Crisis? - ANSWER Physical stress from the flu or other infection, or
from surgery, can send a patient with Addison disease into Addisonian crisis. Another
situation that can cause symptoms of acute lack of cortisol results from prescribed
treatment.
What are s/s of adrenal crisis? - ANSWER The patient experiences generalized malaise
and muscle weakness, muscle pain, orthostatic hypotension, and vulnerability to cardiac
dysrhythmias. Insufficiency of the glucocorticoids affects blood glucose levels and
causes symptoms of hypoglycemia. There is also decreased secretion of
gastrointestinal enzymes, which results in anorexia, nausea and vomiting, flatulence,
and diarrhea. These symptoms, as well as anxiety, depression, and loss of mental
acuity, have been correlated with the absence of the peaks of cortisol output that
normally occur every 24 hours.
What is DIC? - ANSWER Damaged tissue liberates tissue thromboplastin, creating a
state of excessive clotting in the microcirculation throughout the body. When excessive
clotting depletes the body's clotting factors, hemorrhage follows, leading to hypotension
or shock.
What are s/s of DIC - ANSWER Continued bleeding from an injection or IV site,
extensive bruising in areas of injury, ecchymoses where there has been no trauma, and
petechiae.
There may be oral, vaginal, or rectal bleeding. Laboratory studies will reveal a
decreased hemoglobin and low platelet count.
The prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times will be increased.
The fibrinogen level is reduced, and the fibrin degradation products level is increased.
The D-dimer result is elevated.
What are s/s of hypoglycemia? - ANSWER Increase pulse, confusion, HA, Nervous,
Nausea, Cool and clammy skin, shaking
where is insulin manufactured in the body - ANSWER The pancreas is both an
endocrine (secretes into the bloodstream) and exocrine (secretes through a duct to the
target tissues) gland. Its endocrine function is to produce the hormones insulin and
glucagon.
What is diabetes mellitus type 2 - ANSWER formerly called non-insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)—makes up 90% to 95% of all known cases of diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is believed to begin with insulin resistance, in which insulin interaction
with glucose becomes less efficient, and therefore glucose metabolism is abnormal.
